Terms of Service

Last updated: October 28, 2026

Welcome to GymGrind. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and [Your Legal Name] ("we", "us", "our") about your use of the GymGrind app (the "App"). By creating an account or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the App.

1. Who Can Use GymGrind

You must be at least 13 years old, or older if your country requires a higher age to use an app like this without a parent's permission. By using the App you confirm you meet that age. If you are under 18, you confirm a parent or guardian is okay with you using it.

2. Your Account

You sign in with a Google account (Android and iPhone) or an Apple account (iPhone). You're responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your sign-in secure. Choose a username that isn't offensive and doesn't pretend to be someone else. Usernames are unique, and we may change or remove one that breaks these Terms.

3. What GymGrind Does

GymGrind helps you stay consistent at the gym with the help of your friends.

• Check-ins: you take a photo to check in. Your friends can see it.
• Missed days and late alerts: if you don't check in on a day you scheduled, or an hour after your usual time, we may notify your friends so they can message you. Friends can send you a short message when this happens.
• Reviews: a friend can accept or reject your check-in photo within 12 hours. When two friends accept it, it's confirmed. When two friends reject it, it no longer counts toward your streak or level. If nobody rejects it within 12 hours, it counts. Who rejected or accepted a photo is not shown to you.
• Streaks and levels: your streak and level are worked out by the App from your check-ins, your schedule, streak freezes, and Vacation mode. The App's calculation is final. We may fix bugs or adjust how streaks and levels are worked out, and we don't promise any particular streak or level will be kept.
• Groups and challenges: you can join friend groups that share check-in activity with the group.

You are responsible for what you do with these features.

4. Your Content

You keep ownership of the photos, notes, bio, and other content you add (your "Content"). You give us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license to store, process, and show your Content to the people you've shared it with, only as needed to run the App. Check-in photos are automatically deleted about 12 hours after you take them (see our Privacy Policy). Friends can still take a screenshot or photo of their screen while they can see your photo, and we can't control that. Only post what you're comfortable sharing with your friends.

5. Rules for Using GymGrind

Don't:

• post a photo that isn't a real check-in at the gym, or fake a check-in;
• post nudity, sexual content, violence, hate, or anything illegal;
• post photos that show other people in a private or embarrassing way, or photograph someone without their permission, such as in a locker room;
• harass, threaten, bully, or impersonate anyone, including through messages or by misusing the accept/reject review;
• reject a friend's check-in unless you honestly believe it isn't a real gym check-in;
• try to break, overload, reverse engineer, or get around the App's security, limits, or purchase checks;
• use the App to collect other people's information, or to spam them;
• access another person's account or data.

We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or end accounts that break these rules, with or without notice.

6. Friends, Messages, and Reporting

You decide who your friends are. A connection only starts when both people accept, and you can remove a friend at any time. You can block someone from their profile or from the menu on their photo: blocking ends the friendship, and they can't send you friend requests. You can report a person or a photo the same way, or by emailing GymGrindAdmin@proton.me. We review reports, and may remove content or suspend accounts. We can't promise we will act on every report, and we don't tell the person who reported them.

7. Premium, Subscriptions, and Purchases

GymGrind is free to use with ads. We also offer:

• GymGrind Premium, an optional subscription (currently 4.99 USD per month or 44.99 USD per year; prices can differ by country and are shown before you buy). Premium removes ads and unlocks extra features, which may change over time.
• Streak freezes, optional one-time purchases (currently 0.99 USD each).

Payment is handled by Google Play or the Apple App Store, and their terms also apply. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel anytime in your Google Play or Apple account settings; you keep Premium until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting your account or the App does NOT cancel a subscription. Refunds are handled by Google or Apple under their policies, not by us, except where the law says otherwise. Streak freezes are consumed when used and aren't refundable once used. We confirm purchases with Google Play, and if a subscription is cancelled, refunded, or expires, Premium features stop.

8. Notifications

The App can send push notifications, including to your friends about your check-ins, late check-ins, and missed days. You can turn many of them off in Settings. If you add a gym schedule, you accept that your friends may be notified when you miss it.

9. Ending Your Account

You can delete your account at any time in Settings. This permanently deletes your data as described in the Privacy Policy and can't be undone. We can suspend or end your account if you break these Terms or if keeping it would cause harm or legal risk.

10. Not Fitness or Medical Advice

GymGrind is a motivation and accountability tool. It does not give medical, fitness, or training advice. Talk to a doctor before starting or changing an exercise routine. Exercise at your own risk, and use Vacation mode, rest days, and streak freezes when you need a break. Don't push through injury or illness for a streak.

11. The App "As Is"

We work hard to keep GymGrind running well, but it is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We don't promise the App will always be available, error-free, or secure, or that notifications will always arrive on time or at all, or that streaks, levels, and check-ins will never be lost or miscounted.

12. Limit on Our Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for loss of data, streaks, or profits, arising from your use of the App. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or 50 USD. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you, and nothing here limits rights you have by law.

13. Apple and Google

These Terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. Apple and Google aren't responsible for the App or for support, and aren't liable for claims about it. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms for iPhone users and may enforce them against you.

14. Changes

We may update the App and these Terms from time to time. If we make an important change, we'll tell you in the App. If you keep using the App after a change, you accept the new Terms.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Your State/Country], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. This doesn't remove consumer protections that apply to you where you live.

16. Other Terms

If part of these Terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a rule right away, we haven't given it up. You can't transfer your account to someone else.
